You Think You've Won

Jiang Yan Hai rose from his seat with a smile. Instead of answering their questions, he turned to Tang Xin Yi and said, "Commander, please take this laptop over to the generals."

Tang Xin Yi froze for a moment, but she immediately walked over, unplugged the laptop, and placed it before the generals.

Everyone was puzzled, unable to understand what Jiang Yan Hai was doing.

"First of all, you think you've won? But please, don't just think so. Even after winning, you never conducted a thorough inspection. In fact, around thirty-two minutes ago—before you said to me, 'Still no way to break in?'—I had already infiltrated the entire system, and none of you noticed."

The room erupted at Jiang Yan Hai's words, especially the major, whose face was filled with disbelief. Jiang Yan Hai had infiltrated the entire system before they had even detected the intrusion?!

And they had been smugly congratulating themselves while questioning him?

But no matter what, he could not believe it. There was no way the system's Firewall could have been breached so easily!

"As for why I let you detect the intrusion signal—Commander, please open the D-drive folder on that computer. I marked it. Check whether the files inside are classified documents."

"The reason I allowed them to detect the intrusion alert just now was because I needed to copy classified files from the military system. However, those classified files have copy warnings enabled. Even viewing them will trigger an alarm if a password is not entered within the specified time."

"Precisely because those classified files would immediately issue a warning once copied, I triggered the intrusion alert. I used the intrusion alert to disrupt the system's internal file-copy warning. While their attention was focused on the intrusion, I silently completed the copying of the classified files."

"During a data intrusion, data is exchanged very quickly on both sides. The file-copy data could therefore be silently concealed beneath that traffic and transferred rapidly. In the end, the alerts disappeared because I had copied what I wanted."

Jiang Yan Hai did not spare them any dignity. He was building up his own credentials. Since he had to hand over these vulnerabilities in the end anyway, he might as well trade them for something.

General Gao Shi Wei and several other generals had already opened the laptop Jiang Yan Hai had brought over, their expressions grave. Everyone else who was not involved automatically looked away.

Some of the files inside were not meant for them to see.

About ten minutes later, General Gao Shi Wei and the other three generals finally stood up. With a solemn expression, he said, "Impressive! We checked them. The files inside are indeed classified documents. They even include military deployment maps for our military region, as well as deployment details for several classified military positions."

The moment General Gao Shi Wei said this, everyone else in the room sucked in a breath. What that meant was obvious to all of them.

It meant that the enemy had obtained your crucial military deployment maps. Perhaps before you even made a move, the enemy's missiles would already be on their way!

During the Iraq War, when the United States targeted its enemies in the Middle East, the first wave consisted of countless missiles that bombed every key command center, missile-defense position, and radar site. With that one strike, the enemy instantly became blind and deaf.

That was the power of modern warfare, and that was why they were all breaking out in cold sweat.

They were commanders. They understood better than anyone what it meant for all of your arrangements to be laid bare before the enemy.

This was no longer World War I or World War II.

The Information Warfare soldiers over there all lowered their heads, their faces filled with shame.

The major in particular held it in for a while before finally raising his head and shouting, "Report! I request disciplinary action!"

"This is not about punishing anyone. What we should be thankful for is that Comrade Jiang is one of us!" General Gao Shi Wei said after taking a deep breath.

After saying that, General Gao Shi Wei turned directly to Jiang Yan Hai. "Comrade Jiang, are you interested in working at headquarters? You would be responsible for information security. All matters related to security would be placed under your full responsibility."

As soon as he said that, some in the hall fell silent, some looked envious, and some said nothing. But every gaze was fixed on Jiang Yan Hai.

Everyone understood what this meant, because the major was currently in charge of security here! If Jiang Yan Hai came, the major would have to answer to him!

Perhaps his rank would not be high at first, but within one or two years, he could rise directly to the rank of field-grade officer! How old was Jiang Yan Hai?!

Moreover, everyone was certain that if Jiang Yan Hai agreed, he would at least be a first lieutenant when transferred here. He might even be made a captain!

After all, Jiang Yan Hai's educational qualifications and everything else were right there for all to see.

"Commander, I wonder if you know about some of my records in regular units." Jiang Yan Hai smiled and asked.

"I do. I've read all your records. For example, using a Type 10 Rifle Large Caliber Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle, you hit a flagpole swaying back and forth from a distance of 2,400 meters." General Gao Shi Wei immediately smiled.

The entire command room froze at those words, staring at Jiang Yan Hai in shock. They were all soldiers, and shooting was essential.

Even these information soldiers received basic marksmanship training. It could be said that they were all experts.

And precisely because they were experts, they understood what a distance of 2,400 meters meant! That was practically genius-level, wasn't it?

But weren't geniuses supposed to excel in only one area? Why was he so good at shooting too?!

"Also, during this exercise, you used your sniper rifle to shoot down two Reconnaissance Drones, two Transport Helicopters, and two Attack Helicopters. Oh, and some of the pilots have been shouting that they want revenge on you."

"Of course, counting the personnel killed in the crashes, you took out a total of 109 enemies. Twenty-two of them came from the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade. Thirteen Special Forces Soldiers were directly killed by sniper fire, while nine were killed by various Booby Traps and traps."

"And that does not include the four Reconnaissance Drones that crashed because of your Information Bomb. The losses caused by that alone exceeded ten million."

As General Gao Shi Wei spoke, the entire hall fell deathly silent, leaving only the ticking sounds of several machines.

If no one had said these figures aloud, they might not have seemed like much. But once spoken, everyone understood exactly what they meant!

He was practically a monster!

Or rather, he was a super soldier!

Tang Xin Yi, standing on Jiang Yan Hai's other side, was completely stunned. She had never imagined that this young soldier—still only a private—could be so formidable!

He had killed 109 enemies, including 22 Special Forces Soldiers! What kind of concept was that?! One man was equivalent to two standard twelve-man Special Forces combat teams!
